Good Opening Seen
For American Film
Trade in Argentina
According o a report recently re
ceived from Trade Commissioner Brady,
the American motion picture business In
Argentina and the other River Platte
countries stands In Immediate need of
actual reprenentatlves of the film com
panies who will have a pride In their
special films and who can do some
organising among the motion picture
houses. He says that at present the
film market In Argentina and Uruguay
la at a critical stage, and explains that
previous to 1915 few American films
were shown, but that during the war,
when it was impossible to get films
from Europe, the American film was
Introduced, and gradually grew In favor,
until now American actors and actresses
are most popular with the Argentine
public.
Although tho American film has he
field at preseivt and can obtain three
times the admission charge of Euro
pean films, which are much cheaper,
nevertheless tho latter films are being
Introduced in Increasing numbers by
importers, with whom cost is the first
consideration, and who naturally show
preference for the film that nets them
the greatest profit.
It Is believed that If the motion pic
ture houses were organized as they are
In the United States there would be
no difficulty about the higher prfce.
Moreover, there would be the additional
advantage of increased demand for
films In Lhe provinces, which at present
have poor exchange and theatre facili
ties, and therefore are taking: only a
email part of the trade of- which they
are capable.
WILL ROGERS, Goldwyn motion picture star, and Rev.
Jame Whitcomb Brougher, famous West coast min
ister and humorist, met in Los Angeles at an Advertis
ing dub -meeting in a humorous and unusual debate. The ques
tion was, "Resolved, That Cowboys Have Done More for Hu
manity Than Preachers." Rogers also said that the cowboys
had "opened up" this wonderful Western country, but that
preachers had "dosed it up." Dr. Brougher struck a serious
note, but enlivened it with many jokes and anecdotes.

and workman's classes of Nancy and
vicinity.
During; u war many of the ori final
Lmembero of tha cast were killed or
wmnded while the theatre in which the
Paaalon Play la given was badly dam
aged by a bomb from an airplane
burled purposely, the Nancy players be
lieve, by their rivals across the Rhine.
The theatre, however, has now been
rally repaired and the cast filled out
with new members that are declared to
be) worthy of. tha original ones killed
during the war.
American and English tourists who
have this year visited tha Nancy Pas
sion In place of tha usual one at Ober
Ammergaa are moat enthusiastic in
their praises and 'declare It to be a
worthy rival from every point of view
stage aetting, music, tableaux, acting
and sincerity and piousness of produc
tion.
Dean Petit Has devoted practically his
entire time since 1904 to the perfection
of the play and the training of his big
troup of 400 people.
Miny of trie big tableaux are declared
to be of the highest artistic presentation.
The people of Nancy have every Inten
tion of making their Passion a perma
nent institution and of sharing in the
future the world-wide fame and pop
ularity of tha Bavarian presentation.
Scenic Beauty
In Him Story of
Cooper Classic
Los Angeles, Sept. 18. Eighteen mo
tors snd six trucks comprised the cara
van that brought Maurice Tourneur and
his company of ISO back to Los Angeles
from the high mountains, where he had
been for three weeks filming scenes for
his initial Associated Producers film
"The Last of tHe Mohicans," by James
Fenimore Cooper. The woodland scenes
of the high country on the "Rim of the
World" route, California's famous scenic
motor trip, are all a part of the picture.
Tourneura selection tn casta Is alwaya
one of his strong points, and In this
production he has not missed his mark
once. Barbara Bedford plays Cora; Lil

France Resumes
Showing of
Passion Play
PARIS. Sept 18. (U. P.) After hav
ing put over one on Germany In the
matter of war. France has Just decided
to put over another one with a French
Ober-Ammergau.
This Is the latest development of
Franco-German post-war competition.
Reports from the Bavarian Passion Play
center Indicate that the Ober-Ammergau
actors and actresses consider France Is
taking an unfair advantage of them.
The Passion Play at Ober-Ammergau
which is given every 10 years would
ordinarily have taken place this year.
Owing to the fact however, that the
Bavarian population can't scare . up
enough food to feed themselves to say
nothing of feeding the hundreds of thou
sands of visitors who flock there every
10 years for the aacred drama, this
year's presentation had to be called off
for the first time since the Inauguration
of the drama.
With food a little more plentiful in
France, the latter has undertaken to see
to it that the world won't suffer from
lack of a Passion Play because of the
German food ahortage. Incidentally
France hopes to ri ve her Passion Play
such a send off this year that hereafter
she will be serious competitor of the
Ober-Ammergau show.
France's Passion Play, which was
founded in 1904, but which had to be
suspended during the war, has just re
sumed business at its original stand at
Nancy under remarkably encouraging
and impressive circumstances.
The Nancy Passion was founded by
the Monsignor Petit, dean of the diocese,
and he is still in charge Like the Ober
Ammergau play It is given every Sun
day and constitutes an entire day's per
formance. The play opens at 9 in the morning and
save for an hour and a half at noon
for lunch continues till 6 in the eve
ning. The cast Is made up of 400 actors ana
actresses all drawn from the peasant

No Strike of
Stage Hands
In New York
TEW YORK. Sept IS. There will be
-Lno strike of stage hands in New
Tork because of salary differences.
This was definitely settled when a dele
gation from Local No. 1 of the Stage
Hands' union told the members of the
United Managers' association they were
willing to comply with the contract they
held with the producers from last year
and which still has another year to
run.
This decision follows upon their de
mand of some weeks ago for an in
crease from J125 to $450 a perform
ancs ' for grips, electricians, flymen and
operators. The clearers alone were un
affected by the proposed scale. There
quest for a higher salary waa turned
down by .the managers on the ground
that present conditions did not warrant
any extra expense on their part. At
the same time the producers pointed to
a contract entered into last year be
tween themselves and the stage hands
for the present wage and which in
consideration of a considerable advance
in pay had been extended to September
1 01 next season.
Subsequently the managers took UD
this contract with tne International Al
liance of Theatrical Stage Employes.
the parent body of Local No. 1. The I
national organization upheld the cause
of the managers and Instructed the
local to live up to the terms of their
agreement Thus it was that the dele
gation from the local union waited upon
the producers yesterday afternoon and
agreed to carry out their contract Co
incident with this agreement, however,
the stage hands set forth that the in
creased cost of living had made It Im
perative that they receive an Increase
and they requested the management to
look into the matter from a personal
standpoint and see if they could not
find it in their power to accede to the
original plea of Local No. 1.
The managers willingly agreed to do
this and a meeting to take up this
phase of the situation will be held next
week, when, it is said, if the impre
sarios can find It possible, an advance
on the present scale will be (ranted.

Women Theatrical
Managers, Is Next
Form of Invasion
New Tork. Sept. 18. Women have in
vaded another sphere which man has
called his own. They will be theatrical
managers.
Ccmstock A Gest in announcing to
day that Miss May Dowllng will be their
first woman manager, went further and
declared their Intention of placing many
of their companies under a woman's
direction. Miss Dowling will have charge
of "Adam and Evt," the comedy suc
cess of last season.
"Women don't smoke, dont gamble
and attend strictly to business," the
producers said In explaining their Idea
of the innovation.
